Woah, that looks even more amazing JWInslow. I thought that such scrolling might look too choppy but I was wrong. It makes the game even more realistic now (per Atari standards). Would it be possible to make it look like this? Or is that too much for the console limitations? Or are the sides just empty due to not being visible on a TV?

By the way, this is an Atari 2600 game, so music isn't really necessary since Atari games with music are very rare, but if you were gonna add music to it, perhaps you could add some sort of title screen song remix of one of my older songs (maybe Ancient Kingdom of Happy Hardcore melody since it was made just a few hours before CodeWalrus creation). It would just need to use 1 sound channel. And during gameplay, all you would need is flapping sounds, which could just be standard Atari sounds, and when you die it could just be an explosion sound.

I was thinking it over in my head, and I just realized composing original songs is very hard I might do a remix of one of your songs, and I will definitely take that specific one into careful consideration (that is, if I find out how to do music and sound effects in bAtari BASIC, apparently that's hard too ). For now, that is all that's stopping further progression. I will finish as soon as possible!

I like the sounds. Very Atari style. Do you think you could make the difficulty increase over time? Also would the console be too limited to allow you to add the power-up?

Perhaps I could make the scrolling faster over time...up to a point

And no, the console is not too limited for me to add this powerup. I doubt it'll take more than a few lines of code to implement. And I have >2KB of ROM left in the first bank of the ROM, even with everything I have but the titlescreen in it. I'm sure it'll be fine.

So great to see someone from this community fiddle which such ancient hardware. Massive props!Just gave the beta a quick try in Stella. Plays smooth, but yeah it could do with a little speedup over time
